A drop of this magnitude is hugh and series!

The joke on FR has been to post ‘drink’ when the the word ‘unexpected’ appears in the media. I think we should change that to ‘recovery’. If we were really drinking to that word, we would be passed out in 5 minutes.

So if there was no recovery, I believe there was no recovery, this many months, doesn’t that then technically become called Depression, not recession?
